Synopsis:

Juvenile Delinquency: An Integrated Approach, Second Edition offers a comprehensive introduction to juvenile delinquency. Now in a more concise and accessible format, this text cultivates an understanding of juvenile delinquency by examining and linking key sociological and criminological theories and research. Biological and psychological approaches to delinquency are covered, as well as responses to delinquent behavior including prevention, early intervention, and contemporary juvenile justice.

About the Author: Dawn Jeglum Bartusch earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin ¿ Madison in 1998. Her primary research interests concern the causes of juvenile delinquency, gender differences in involvement in delinquency, and the social context in which crime and delinquency occur. Along with noted criminologists Ross Matsueda and Terrie Moffitt, Dr. Bartusch has conducted tests of interactionist, developmental, and general theories of crime and delinquency. She has also collaborated with criminologist Robert Sampson, analyzing data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods and examining the neighborhood context of racial differences in tolerance of deviance and "legal cynicism." Her research has appeared in CRIMINOLOGY, SOCIAL FORCES, LAW AND SOCIETY REVIEW, and the JOURNAL OF ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY. In more applied research, Dr. Bartusch has examined the effectiveness of gang crime prevention efforts administered through the Illinois Attorney General's Office. She currently teaches sociology at Valparaiso University in Indiana.
